RAF chief set to be new head of armed forces
The head of the RAF is set to be appointed as the new chief of the British armed forces, according to reports. Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton is thought to be in line to be the next Chief of Defence Staff. The position is currently held by Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, who has been in the role since 2021. According to his biography on the Government website, Sir Richard joined the RAF in 1989 as a university cadet, and served as deputy chief of the defence staff from 2019 to 2022. The appointment comes as the Government has pledged to increase defence spending in the UK to 2.5% of gross domestic product on defence from April 2027, with a goal of increasing that to 3% over the next parliament, a timetable which could stretch to 2034. The Ministry of Defence said: 'This is speculation. The appointment process is ongoing and any announcement will be made in the usual way.'

Chelsea interested in West Ham star with £85m release clause that can be triggered by Premier League clubs
Chelsea are among the clubs keen on West Ham 's Mohammed Kudus. Kudus has an £85million clause for Premier League clubs, active for the first 10 days of July. The Blues also continue to appreciate Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund, Hugo Ekitike at Frankfurt and Brighton 's Joao Pedro. A bid for Gittens is expected to go in this week. The latter is also on lists at Newcastle United and Arsenal. Chelsea have also spoken to AC Milan over goalkeeper Mike Maignan who could leave for just £25m this month. The 29-year old has one year left on contract and Chelsea could offload Djordje Petrovic who has interest from West Ham. Enzo Maresca's side are set to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich after triggering the £30m release clause and agreeing personal terms. They have also announced the arrival of Sporting Lisbon's Dario Essugo for £18.5 after the two clubs reached an agreement in March. Chelsea will be hoping to add to their squad ahead of the Club World Cup. The Blues begin their campaign against Los Angeles FC on June 16 before matches against Flamengo and ES Tunis.

Another Brit woman 'is arrested on drug charges abroad'... after worried family reported the 21-year-old missing
A young female drug mule suspect has been detained and arrested in Germany for allegedly smuggling cannabis from Thailand. Cameron Bradford, 21, from Knebworth in Hertfordshire was stopped at Munich Airport on April 21 while she tried to collect her luggage. Sources told The Sun she served a red flag to authorities after changing her flight last minute as she was originally meant to fly via Singapore to London Heathrow. It is thought Ms Bradford could now face at least four months in a German prison while authorities investigate the drugs' origins. The young mum's arrest is the latest in a series of cases involving suspected young British female drug mules. Ms Bradford, who has a young son, triggered alarm from her family when she didn't return home on her Heathrow bound flight as expected. They filed a missing person report but were alerted the next day to the 21-year-old's whereabouts in Germany. Chief prosecutor Anne Leiding of the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office said: 'We can confirm that we are conducting proceedings in this matter. The young mum's arrest is the latest in a series of cases involving suspected young British female drug mules 'The defendant is still in custody.' Charges and a trial date are yet to be be provided by the prosecution, amid an ongoing investigation. A Foreign Office spokesman said: 'We are supporting a British woman who is detained in Germany and are in contact with her family and the local authorities.' Germany legalised cannabis for recreational use by adults aged 18 and over in 2024 - but did not extend this change to tourists or non-residents. There are also differing interpretations of the law across all of Germany's 16 federal states. And the unauthorised import of cannabis, even for personal use, remains strictly illegal, carrying a five years prison sentence. Recently, 36-year-old Clara Wilson was allegedly found trying to smuggle around £200,000 of Thai cannabis into Spain. The mother-of-four, prominent on OnlyFans and from Huthwaite in Nottinghamshire was held by the Civil Guard on January 20 after departing a Qatar Airways flight from Doha. It is believed she jetted to the Mediterranean capital from Bangkok with stops in both India and Qatar. The unemployed parent now faces four years behind bars and potential fines of over £750,000 if she is found guilty. A 23-year-old British woman in Ghana was also arrested last week after being accused of attempting to bring up to 18kg of cannabis into the UK on a May 18 British Airways flight to Gatwick. And Bella May Culley, 18, sparked a massive international search operation in early May after she was reported missing while she was believed to be holidaying in Thailand. However, it was later revealed that the teen, from Billingham, County Durham, had been arrested 4,000 miles away on drug offences in Georgia, allegedly carrying 14kg of cannabis into the ex-Soviet nation. And recently 21-year-old Charlotte Lee May, from Coulsdon, south London, was arrested in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo after police discovered 46kg of 'Kush' - a synthetic strain of cannabis - in her suitcase. The former flight attendant, facing up to 25 years in prison if convicted, is claiming she had 'no idea' about the drugs worth up to £1.2 million and insisting they must have been planted in her luggage without her knowledge.
